This research was conducted to test the 1971 shot of Kilby, that the entrepreneur still lacks descr iptive profiling. (Perry, 1990, pg.22)The problem arises from the fact that psychologists are as psychologically disparate from the entrepreneur, as humans are from the Heffalump. An accurate profile is beyond the capacity of psychologists to describe. That is because normal human emotions sessnot be interchanged with the psychological organisation of the entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are born with inherit traits that defy normal human emotions. They can feel a coarse of action in business, much like a composer can feel a symphony before he hears the final score.
